Tomorrow morning I am off to try and sell my goods at the local markets. I have been super busy sewing up a storm every spare moment I had this week. (hence the lack of blogging)

I have various sized tote bags, I even made a 'scrappers tote' that will fit pizza boxes or scrap albums. I have crayon activity bags and my very favourite... fabric camera straps!

The 2 in the photo were the first 2 I made, and I now have 7! I had to order the buckles and strapping from America, the only place I could find on the www that sold what I needed and I had to look long and hard to find them. Turns out that they were from the same state my family lives in...I have interfaced and padded the straps so they are very comfy and only $20 each. I have seen them as much as $40 on the www.I will have to finish up at the markets by noon as I have Martin and Nicoles wedding to shoot that afternoon.

Well we are home from a beautiful wedding at the lovely Hat Head. It is a small, sleepy coastal town. The kids swam and relaxed. Matt was great and did alot of keeping the kids busy kind of things while I focused on getting ready to take photos and hemming Shawn's pants. Last minute is always a good time to get things done! Shawn was a very well behaved paige boy, everyone was so proud of him... We informed him that he would have to give a speech at the wedding. He knew his uncles were kidding with him and he took it in his stride. He has a wonderful sence of humor and can give as good as he gets with his Uncles...and his father!

I have been steadily sewing up bags. I gave some as gifts at Christmas and now plan on stockpiling them to sell at markets, online of from the back of my car! I still have lots to make and some lovely upholstery and lined curtain fabric to play with... think I might do that today.I *plan* on posting the bags over at HAPPY SNAPS as I make them. If you are interested in one, leave me a message or send me an email and I will get back to you.

Yes, thank you I have recovered from last nights post.... and the gym! x

Today, for the first time... I forgot to put Shawn's lunchbox in his school bag. I feel soooooo bad! I made and packed the lunch, and it is still sitting on the bench where I left it... I filled the water bottle and packed it so that is a plus!

So that will teach me to have things OTHER than my children on my mind. I was called into work to fill in as someone was sick and I also had my first 'appointment' at a gym to pack clothes, shoes etc for... how selfish of me!

So now that I feel really lousy, I am going to have a Pepsi (only my third for today!!!!!!!) that will make me feel better. I will sit in front of the TV, surround myself with washing that needs to be put away, sewing that needs to be done and a floor that needs vacuuming as I went to work today and no one else did it!

EXHALE.....

* The canteen lady gave Shawn some lunch so he didn't starve... now I need to go see her and try and convince her I am not totally useless!!!

This Lo is for a challenge that has to be about something you love, not a person, but something. The other criteria that is to keep your page simple, no embellies, flowers, bling, ribbon etc. Also to ink your edges. I love the look of inked edges... This challenge is "10 things I love about you". The criteria I set was, use white cardstock as the base, an altered a flower and place something randomly on your page.

Yesterday afternoon it was time to get out of the house!So while Matt was at State League Basketball training Shawn, Liberty and I went bushwalking. It was the perfect weather for it, overcast and slightly cool.The top pic is the full falls and the bottom pic is the view from the top of the falls looking down. National Parks have done a great job with the walking tracks.

I also did some scrapping on the weekend... but I can't show you yet :) They are for the Scrapbooking Top 50 Cyber Crop that starts tonight!They always have the best CC's and being a guest designer this month makes it extra special :)

Sky Watch Friday is on again. I missed last Friday, it was almost lunch time when I realised what day it was :)We have had hot, then cool, then cold now muggy weather. I snapped this shot as the afternoon storm was clearing. The grey clouds were moving fast out of the way making way for the evening light to colour the clouds.If you have the time go and visit other skies through Sky Watch Friday.
